Updates

Hey guys,

I'm about 3 weeks away from finishing up my semester. London's been a ton of fun but I can't wait to be back at school either. Some updates:

I'm gonna be in NYC full-time next year, figuring out my apt. details as we speak but I'm excited for that. I'm taking a tough math class this semester and looking into the possibility of taking a few more as a non-degree student after I work for a year or two. I want to keep math grad school open as an option so we'll see how this class goes. It's supposed to be tough and the fact that only math majors take it won't make it any easier...

I want to get through 100 pages or so of the 250 the class will cover but that's ambitious to say the least. It takes forever to read a few pages because the topic is so proof-based. Add in the fact that we're using an advanced undergrad/beginning grad text and yeah...you get the point.

Trying to get in shape too. I've been doing biking intervals ~4x/week. I do 5 min warmup, 1 min on level 9 at 100+ rpm's and 45 seconds rest (repeat 20x), 5 min cooldown. It's definitely challenging but I think cardio fitness is the biggest weakness I have atm.

I've played a little bit of cash but it's hard to get in hands and I feel kind of dumb playing when I could be socializing, getting ahead on this math book, playing sports, etc. Part of me thought how nice it would be to go back to school in the spring and take easy classes and just hang out. But I'd feel pretty stupid for not having used all my school's resources and I may not have the chance to take certain classes again. Poker will always be around tho I won't have much time to play once I start work.

I had a coaching session with Keyser last week and it was super helpful. It was $300 for 8 hours of coaching which is a sick deal imo. I'm doing 25nl 6m atm and have ~$2,600 online so we'll see how that goes. I still like poker but part of me thinks it's not worth the effort if I can't really commit to playing a lot. I know a lot of guys do it casually but I can't imagine myself doing that when I'll have little free time after work/on the weekends and will want to spend it with friends.

Anyway, I hope everyone's doing well.

Thanks for reading.
